Correction

This story has been corrected. Houma Police initially incorrectly reported that two additional motorcyclists hit the first Shriner motorcyclist during the parade. The two motorcyclists only assisted the first after he hit the child, according to the Shriner's statement, relayed by Chief Todd Duplantis.

The boy had “minor scratches” and medical help was not needed, Chief Todd Duplantis said. The motorcyclist was not injured.

The Shriner clipped the boy on the arm while doing a figure eight, Duplantis said. No charges were filed.
